"WHEN ISRAEL'S MOSSAD SET OUT TO BREAK ME, IT FOUND ITS
HELPERS HERE AT HOME," by Victor
Ostrovsky

Victor Ostrovsky published two books on his
experiences as a former Intelligence agent working for the
State of Israel: By Way of Deception and The Other
side of Deception.

In these
he recorded his personal observations made within Israel's
external security service, The Mossad. He wrote an
article on what subsequently happened to him for the
authoritative journal, Washington Report on Middle
East Affairs (October/November 1997).

Here we
reproduce extracts from the lengthy article:

"WE WILL get to
him by other means, we will break him economically," stated
the chief of the Mossad, Israel's CIA, to a Knesset
committee after the failure of the government of Israel's
attempt to ban publication of my first book, By Way of
Deception, in the U.S. and Canada. This statement,
made on camera, was purposefully leaked to an Israeli
reporter and printed in the weekend addition of
Ma'ariv, Israel's leading daily newspaper, with
the military censor's approval. Since that day, Israel's
foreign intelligence agency has waged a war of attrition
against me with the enthusiastic co-operation of its cabal
of North American Zionist organizations.

For years as a Canadian-born, Israeli-raised former
Mossad caseworker I was unwilling to accept the possibility
of a wide conspiracy against me. After all, my book had
finally been published. What more harm could I do to the
country I had left in disgust to return to the land of my
birth. Only hitting rock bottom has finally jolted me out of
this state of innocence--and optimism that a change of luck
is just around the corner. I'm now convinced that I am the
target of a broad collusion between elements of the Israeli
government and their gofers, mostly in the American Jewish
community.

...Radio and television interviews that were scheduled by
my publisher were canceled almost as soon as they were
booked. A speaker's bureau in Toronto, which seldom had
trouble arranging speaking engagements with student and
other groups eager to have me as a speaker, found that the
engagements were cancelled before I could appear. In fact,
the cancellations occurred each time a local B'nai Brith
Anti-Defamation League (ADL) chapter got
wind of them, and they always did.

But, of course, the less I spoke, the more time I had to
write. In 1995, when my third book, The Other side of
the Deception, another work of non-fiction, was
published, the efforts against me were stepped up.

So, on Oct. 21, 1995, I was surprised to be invited by
Canadian Television (CTV) producer Ron Fine to do a guest
appearance on "Canada AM," the widely viewed Canadian
version of "Good Morning America." Scheduled to appear on
the same program, via satellite from Israel, was Israeli
journalist Yosef Lapid, the former head of Israeli
television.

...On cue, Lapid repeated, as I listened, his call for my
assassination on the Canadian television show, but this time
with a twist. He said that, since Israel's Mossad could not
kill me in Canada without causing a diplomatic incident, "I
hope that there would be a decent Jew in Canada who would do
the job for us."

...A radio host named Tim Kern, from a station in Denver,
Colorado, called me up for an interview. Several days later
he sent a file on me he had received from the "Mountain
state regional office of the Anti-Defamation
League of B'nai Brith." The ADL communication suggested
that the station drop the interview, claiming that I am an
unreliable subject.* The sequence was repeated over and over
at radio and television stations in the United States in the
United States and Canada. Ironically, supposedly separate
Jewish organizations around the United States kept coming up
with the same wording in their efforts to shut me up.

The same people who presumably would praise someone from
the CIA or the U.S armed forces who exposed serious
wrong-doing in those institutions were now hard of work to
smother my criticisms of an intelligence agency for a
foreign country that, to put it a charitably as possible
does not have America's best interest at heart.

...In an attempt to break the vicious cycle, I decided to
sue in an Canadian Yosef Lapid for inciting my murder and
"Canada AM" for airing his incitement to the public. I
assumed that bringing this issue to public attention would
expose the attempts of organizations in both the U.S. and
Canada that in fact are agents of Israel to suppress the
truth through intimidation and, if necessary, economic or
physical terrorism.

After accepting a hefty retainer and completing the
preparation for trial, my lawyer, Paul B. Kane of
Perley-Robertson, Panet, Hill and McDougall in Ottawa,
Canada, informed me that he could not continue with the
case. His explanation was that the safety of his staff would
clearly be jeopardized if he proceeded.

Then HarperCollins, my publisher, informed me it was
keeping the last portion of my advance, some $46,000,
against advertising. I pointed out that since this was not
something that I had never agreed to, they had no right to
do it. "Sue us," was their response.

In 1996, a new, New York based agent struck a light at
the end of a very long, dark tunnel. Regnery Inc., a
Washington based publisher, signed a contract with me for a
tongue-in-cheek guide to espionage called The Spy
Game. They had some suggestions, however, for making
the book more serious on the grounds that reader's don't
regard spying as a laughing matter.

As I was in the final stages of the first draft, however,
my house burned to the ground. The fire marshal's report
declared it arson.

...So I wasted no more time and re-wrote The Spy
Game, having kept my notes on Regnery's suggested
revisions with me.

...On July 9 of this year the Regnery publicity
department faxed me a copy of their catalog page
depicting my book, slated to be released in October. One
day later, on July 10, 1997, I received a letter from
Regnery informing me that the company had decided not to
publish my book. I felt as though I had been hit by a
freight train.

* THIS
IS of course precisely the technique used since the 1970s
by the ADL to suppress the printed works of David Irving,
even though published by the world's leading publishers.

ALTHOUGH
The Mossad has been formally enjoined from
operating on British soil since a scandal in
1987, its agents in Britain are the Board of
Deputies and its subsidiary agencies.

EVERY
subject now has the statutory
right
under the Data Protection Act, 1984, to
give the Board of Deputies forty days' notice in
writing to provide copies of all data maintained
by the Board on them, and to require the Board
to make such corrections as the subject
concerned may require.

SUBJECTS
who suspect that they are being victimised
should write in the first instance by Recorded
Mail to the Research Unit, Board of Deputies of
British Jews, marking their letter for the
attention of Michael Whine, Director, Research
Unit, Commonwealth House, 1 - 19 New Oxford
Street, London WC1A 1NF. If the Board refuses to
give satisfaction within forty days, the subject
should then complain in writing to the
Registrar
of the Data Protection
Agency,
Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire
SK9 5AF; the agency has statutory powers to
search and seize databases in the event of non
compliance with the Act.
